Hans-Lukas Teuber is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — Neuropsychologist who helped found the field of human brain-behavior research
Teuber was a founder of modern human neuropsychology; his rigorous studies of brain-injured soldiers established how specific brain regions relate to perception, memory and behavior, and he built and led the psychology department at MIT. He emigrated from Nazi Germany to the United States in 1941. He is listed among Jewish psychologists (Jinfo.org); a Jewish family background is not detailed in standard biographies.
